Thank you @EyeLthtr for looking after my daughter today who had eye surgery. Friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble. Miss Jane was as wonderful today as she was 11 years ago when we saw her for surgery. So lucky to have this amazing service right on our doorstep 🙌

Thinking of those people who have lost to it, have beaten it and those who continue to fight it. Every cancer journey matters. #WorldCancerDay2025

Sat in @RosemereCF waiting on my mum having her first round of radiotherapy, when the bell was rung followed by a round of applause 👏🏻 Feeling a little emotional for the journey we’ve been on and what’s left to come but also thankful that there’s light at the end of the tunnel 💝

I had a conversation today about the difference between "kindness" & "niceness" in leadership so I decided to post about it. The article & graphic explain why, as leaders, we should choose kindness over niceness. Kindness is about caring enough to push people toward greatness, even when it’s uncomfortable. It’s a harder path but better in the long run: learningandleadershipconsult…. By @emb928 Graphic: @thejustinmecham via @dangrimes1980

Thank you to our maternity and neonatal colleagues who go above and beyond to support parents and care for their babies. I’m inspired every day by the care and compassion you show and the extra mile you consistently go to keep parents involved 💜 #WorldPrematurityDay

All of my career choices have been dedicated to the service of others and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Very lucky to have worked with people both past and present who inspire me to do better for the benefit of others. #nursing #vocation

Really fun to see the teams getting in the Halloween spirit and the positive impact this has had on our children who have helped us decorate! Well done teams 🎃@LancsHospitals
Our teams have had fun this week with a Halloween decoration competition. We would like to thank our CEO for visiting the areas to meet staff and judge efforts. The children have loved interacting with all the games and sensory activities. Well done day case for first prize!
